Kris, a young diasporic Chinese woman, attempts to reconcile her upbringing between Canada and Singapore. In doing so, she comes face to face with herself as she pulls apart the tactics she uses in an attempt to fit into two wildly different cultures. Weaving in and out of English, Mandarin, and Singlish, Kris uses storytelling to navigate beauty standards, body image, family, food, and an unexpected friendship with a Chicken Rice Uncle.

Deftly unraveling stereotypes and addressing the universal through Kris's determined persistence and heartwarming sense of humour, ??????? (Gimme chance leh) is about celebrating difference and existing in the in-between.
